p>Hilleberg calls the two-person Rajd (pronounced "ride") "more than a tarp, yet not quite a true tent." We call it a single wall tent. It's made of Hilleberg's superb Kerlon 1200, which is a high tenacity ripstop nylon triple coated with silicone. It weighs slightly more than standard silnylon, but is more durable and weatherproof. So, how does the Rajd perform under different field conditions, and how does it compare with its competitors?
